Hi All, Not been around recently as have been preparing a mammoth
presentation for a client. Glad to see the clientale is much as I
left it!

Looking through the various newsgroups, it is clear that the issue of
overwriting or accidentally deleting really valuable data is a
recurring theme. Many programs provide an option for saving data to
disc at regular intervals. I wonder why MS and others haven't got
around to providing a *default* option of regularly saving files under
a recognisable but different backup name? That way, those poor people
who currently learn to their cost the import of not backing up
regularly could be saved from their own folly.

Hello,

Even in the latest version of PowerPoint (2003), there is no built-in
(in-the-box) capability to

save multiple versions of presentations. However, if you are using Windows
SharePoint Services and

saving your presentations (and other documents) in a SharePoint document
library, you can use

SharePoint Services to enable versioning so that you can go back to
previous versions of the

presentation if you accidentally save over and existing presentation.

However, if versioning or some other form of automatically making backup
copies of your presentation

files directly from PowerPoint (not requiring SharePoint or some other
external document management

technology), please send your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is

important to you that your product suggestion be implemented by Microsoft.
Microsoft receives

thousands of product suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any
given product

development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important

to our customers so take the extra time to state your case as clearly and
completely as possible.

Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of suggestions)

I was just thinking the same.

"Even in the latest version of PowerPoint (2003)...."

It's a bit like a lot of cinema film trailers.....when it's "Voiceover
Man"...and each trailer starts

" I n a W o r l d . . . . . "

ROFL!

Voiceover Man would be FM-Man's cousin, then?
 
I don't know if there is a backup system....how do I check
this and see if a backup was saved?

Thank you!
